Just looking at FA rules regarding penalties. I can't see anything that says it was a free-kick to Rochdale.
It should have been retaken...
Ignore that... There is a rule.
It was a deliberate act, which means player doesn't get second chance to score.

I don't care anymore, this game is mad.
Probably go to 110 minutes and be snowed off.

Words cannot describe my current feelings. That is the biggest disgrace of a half of football that I have ever seen. VAR is absolutely ruining football. The players just look pissed off and rightfully so. If this is the direction football is going then I would very quickly fall out of love with the 'beautiful game'!

I am furious!!!!

What's the point of playing if they're going to fuck you over every time you score?

First disallowed was farcical and even if the second was right, why wasn't it re-taken like every other time that something like that has happened?

The encroachment happened first, the illegal feinting wasn't illegal as it is allowed during the run-up, but aside from all that, then yeah they get a free kick.

Be interesting to see how those sort of penalties are reffed in the coming weeks...

Usually they stand every time.

It's the sort of technicality that is let go every week until one ref pulls it up then they all go back to ignoring it every week, like goalkeepers being off their line.
